Twitchy was thrilled to announce earlier today that Dr. Ben Carson, whose speech at the National Prayer Breakfast quickly became a viral hit, had joined Twitter. Carson didn’t have much time to tweet today other than to announce his hour-long appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, but that didn’t stop him from garnering more than 13,000 followers.

I'll be joining @seanhannity for the full hour tonight 9pm/12am ET. Tune in & let me know what you think.
